Abstract
Hadith as the source of the teachings of Islam after the Koran has different method in searching its originality from that of the Koran. While the study of the Koran is departed from faith (al-wurud qot'iy), the study of hadith is departed from doubt (zhanni al-wurud). When studying the Koranic verses, a researcher will definitely assure about its originality (ashalah). Meanwhile, to studythe content of hadith, a researcher should find its originality and validity that involves tracing a number of its narrators (sanad). Ulum al-hadith gave birth to one of its branches namely Ilmu Rijal HadisHadith (Science of Hadith narrators), and one of the variants of this science is called Ilmu Thabaqat. Ilmu Thabaqat focuses on the study of Khariji (external) aspects that linked to the existence and quality of the narrator who reports the content or dakhili (internal) aspect of hadith. After exploring some related scientific works on this study, there are several differences in the methods of writing this study from one another. Some works are arranged alphabetically, mu’jam, while others are prepared in a group that has similarity. This method is commonly called Thabaqat. This paper will discuss the science of Thabaqat al-Hadith from ontological, epistemological and axiological aspects . This paper will also explore its application in the study of tracing hadith quality.
